Amarinth has refurbished sodium hypochlorite dosing pumps for ADNOC on schedule using its facility in the United Arab Emirates to meet strict shutdown deadlines.

The UK firm equipped the original pumps to ADNOC in 2016 for sodium hypochlorite dosing duties on the Umm Lulu offshore platform situated in the Arabian Gulf, 30km north-west of Abu Dhabi, UAE. Because sodium hypochlorite is highly corrosive, Amarinth initially used titanium alloy for all wetted parts.
During เกวัดแรงดันน้ำ , ADNOC decided the pumps had been due for refurbishment. The sodium hypochlorite dosing pumps are critical to production and refurbishment had to align precisely with a selected shutdown schedule.
The shutdown schedule wouldn’t allow the pumps to be returned to the UK for a full strip, assessment and refurbishment, so Amarinth used its UAE facility to undertake the work.
Amarinth’s UAE facility was able to full the strip and assessment report within five working days and propose two refurbishment projects. The first concerned a full rebuild, check and guarantee of the primary pump changing all of the titanium elements together with impeller, shaft, bearing brackets and mechanical seals. The work needed to be completed in simply eight weeks. Amarinth prioritised the ordering of the titanium parts and was in a place to have the components manufactured and shipped to the UAE to align with the rebuild schedule. The second venture undertook the same work on the other two backup pumps to be completed on a 24-week schedule.
Oliver Brigginshaw, managing director of Amarinth, mentioned: “Having provided the unique pumps to ADNOC we’ve a wealth of experience in working with titanium parts. We are also pleased with the expansion of our native UAE facility for service and assist and which enabled us to successfully expediate this explicit refurbishment, benefiting both ADNOC and the local economic system.”
